Unable to use HTTPS on Traefik V1.718

The unresolved mystery

Hi Everyone, hopefully I can get some traction here to resolve this problem that has bugged me for the last few days. It sounds very simple and straight forward but somehow I am unable to resolve it.

Basically, I am just trying to enable "https" on traefik and use a commercial provider certificates but somehow traefik does not like it and keep giving the dreaded "failed to load x509 key pair" error. It looks to me like it never see the certificate but somehow use the non-existing certificate in the store

Here is my traefik.toml

# traefik.toml file template
